Joshua Zirkzee’s international success has forced Man United into a rethink amid renewed interest

Manchester United have reportedly raised their asking price for forward Joshua Zirkzee to €35 million (£30 million) following renewed interest from Serie A clubs Juventus and Fiorentina. The Dutchman caught their attention after scoring against Serbia in the Nations League, despite playing only 70 minutes and making zero starts under manager Michael Carrick this season.

Zirkzee reportedly prioritizes consistent playing time and could pursue a permanent departure or loan with an obligation to buy in the January transfer window. The writer argues that a move appears inevitable, with United potentially targeting Jean-Philippe Mateta or Igor Matanovic as replacements.
